Product Description
Make an appointment with SCRUBS. Nominated for two Emmy(R) Awards in its second year, the hilarious sitcom is "irreverent and widely inventive," raves TV Guide. Will J.D. get together with Elliot, and will Carla finally accept Turk's wedding proposal? The wacky staff of Sacred Heart Hospital is back and they've brought along some guest stars (Heather Locklear, Tom Cavanagh, and John Ritter) for a booster shot of laughs. Enjoy all 22 episodes of the SCRUBS sensational second season -- with the original, unedited music. Overflowing with great bonus features, including a one-on-one with John C. McGinley, and outtakes and deleted scenes, this spectacular DVD box set offers the best kind of contagious comedy.

The interns of Sacred Heart hospital move up to residents in the second season of Scrubs, the dorky little brother to ER with more than a passing resemblance to Ally McBeal. But in this season the sitcom actually matures-- in a good way--in its ability to balance just the right amount of heart and humor. While JD (Zach Braff) wrestles with his feelings for Elliot (Sarah Chalke), Elliot bends over backwards to be included with her colleagues and friends alike (after a character rags on JD and Turk, she squeals, "Do me!"), Turk (Donald Faison) proposes to Carla (Judy Reyes), and Dr. Cox (John C. McGinley) reunites with his ex-wife Jordan (Christa Miller), who's carrying his child. The cast melds together nicely, but it's Braff, executing most of the fantasy sequences, who's the real comic find, although he's nearly upstaged (in a welcome bit of stunt casting) by Tom Cavanaugh as JD's irresponsible older brother, a complete departure from his role on Ed.
Season Two's bonus features include some very revealing episode commentary by creator Bill Lawrence and various cast members, who all describe guest star Rick Schroder as "an odd dude" and make fun of his imploring the cast not to call him Ricky. They also spend a curious part of time studying the female anatomy, from Chalke's bra colors to guest star Heather Locklear's derriere to Miller's bust (this observation comes from Lawrence, who is Miller's husband). Braff's fame after Garden State also comes as an easy target in the commentaries, as well as the network's inability to understand the show, such as asking to remove an episode's reference to the Wonder Twins because they didn't know who they were. Thank goodness the producers didn't listen. -- Ellen A. Kim

In the first season, much of the focus was on how demanding the life at a hospital could be. Evil bosses like Dr. Bob Kelso (Ken Jenkins), mentally unbalanced mentors like Dr. Perry Cox (John C. McGinley), and a psychotic Janitor (Neil Flynn, now a regular) made life at the hospital hell. While there were a few bright spots, like Nurse Carla Espinosa (Judy Reyes), who became fast friends with J.D. and became Turk's girlfriend, there were many hardships to overcome. Now, while things still are difficult at the hospital, the newbies have got their routines down. This year, the characters' personal lives serve as the focus.
One of the biggest story arcs involves Dr. Cox's ex-wife Jordan Sullivan (Christa Miller), who is pregnant with another man's baby. Meanwhile, Turk decides to propose to Carla (in a very hilarious way), while Elliot and J.D. still find dating a challenge. Elliot falls head over heals for a very nice, very attractive guy, but when she learns that he's a nurse at the hospital, she has a hard time accepting the fact. Meanwhile, J.D. has a constant stream of bizarre relationships from Lisa the Gift Shop Girl (Sarah Lancaster) to Jamie Moyer (Amy Smart), AKA Tasty Coma Wife (or T.C.W. for short), a woman who's husband is slowly dying while in a coma.
Sound effects and fantasy sequences are still a major contributor to the comedy this year, but not as much as last year. Still, this show has some of the best cutaway sequences this side of Family Guy. Some of my favorites include J.D. and a German patient dancing to the song 99 Red Balloons, while another has Elliot and Jamie doing the "Rerun Dance", complete with matching outfits (there is a very interesting story about that in the extras section). Furthermore, in one of the most original openings in sitcom history, singer/songwriter Colin Hay performs his song Overkill and follows J.D. around the hospital, showing up in bizarre places, including the morgue. Another great thing that I started noticing this year is the very subtle placement of things from earlier episodes in subsequent ones. While this show came before Arrested Development, AD is what made inside jokes like that famous, so I'm going to compare these references to those of AD. For instance, in one episode, J.D. remembers how he bought a ventriloquist dummy to impress women, then in a later episode, we see it in his room.
Some of my favorite jokes are the ones involving the Janitor, who was allowed to interact with characters besides J.D. this year. He is still tormenting J.D. for no reason, but this year, he begins to badger Turk and Dr. Cox. Originally, there was going to be a twist where he was only a figment of J.D.'s imagination, but when they realized that they were going to stay on the air for a while, they started writing scenes for the Janitor with other characters. Neil Flynn is a comic genius; he delivers his lines so well, and is great at improv. In the alternate takes extra, some of the greatest stuff are the things that he didn't say.
Still, one of the greatest things about this season was the episode "His Story". Nearly every episode begins with the word My, because each episode is narrated by J.D. In "His Story", the episode is told from Dr. Cox's point of view and we begin to see what makes him tick. This was a very new and fresh episode, and in every season since, there has been an episode told from another character's perspective (so far we've gotten Turk and Elliot, and Carla is coming up next, but I can't wait for the Janitor to get one, but it probably won't happen).
The list of guest stars this year may even be better than last year. Many actors from Spin City showed up this year (Bill Lawrence also works on that show), including Heather Locklear, Alan Ruck, and Richard Kind. Furthermore, Dick Van Dyke, Jay Leno, Jay Mohr, Ryan Reynolds, David Copperfield, and Fred Berry. Furthermore, the returning characters of Dr. Doug Murphy (Johnny Kastl), Dr. Todd Quinlan (Robert Maschio), Nurse Laverne Roberts (Aloma Wright), and Ted Buckland (Sam Lloyd) had many great appearances.
The music on the show is almost a character itself. Often, the background music is used to help tell the story or transition between drama and comedy. There are very few shows that I can think of that music plays such a pivotal role (Veronica Mars is one of them, and even that show doesn't use music as such an essential thing).
Finally, the extras on this set are amazing. Television DVD sets tend to get the short end of the stick when it comes to extras. Sometimes, they'll have one or two good commentaries (with a bunch of other lousy ones) and some featurettes that are very hit or miss. On the Scrubs sets, all of the featurettes are entertaining. I haven't listened to any commentary tracks yet, but, judging by the quality of the other features, I am sure that they are also very well done.
In short, this is another great Scrubs set. I would reccomend it to everyone with the one caveat (to some people at least) that some of the sex scenes are a little racy. The show is shot at an abandoned hospital, which many of the network execs find to be either too far or too creepy to visit on a day-to-day basis. Therefore, the crew is able to get away with stuff that most shows couldn't, so there are a few very steamy scenes, and if this is a problem for you, beware. Otherwise, enjoy another great season of TV.
In the second season, viewers got to know a lot about the personal lives of the characters, which helped to make them more real and eventually inspired people to really invest in them, which is what makes the fan base so devoted.
Scubs is not like any other sitcom, at least any that I watch. It's odd fantasy sequences are quite unique and the no-studio audience format is quite interesting. There is no laugh track, which leaves you laughing on your own.
And, watching Season two, there were plenty of chances to laugh.
As J.D. (Zach Braff), Elliot (Sarah Chalke) and Turk (Donald Faison) enter their second year at Sacred Heart Hospital, they are certainly bound to take a step up. Instead of being interns, they are now residents, left with more decisions and more responsibility.
John (J.D.) Dorian is the center of the show and the episodes, for the most part, are written from his point of view. He provides the narration for almost all the episodes and the fantasies are usually spawned from his brain. In season two, he wrestles with his feelings for fellow resident Elliot Reed, battles with chief resident Perry Cox (John C. McGinley), sees his best friend Turk get engaged and has numerous romantic entanglements. I will say, that JD gets tons of beautiful women. In this season alone, guest stars that went on dates with him include Amy Smart as the Tasty Coma Wife (A great episode) and Sarah Lancaster as the gift shop girl. But truly, JD is lonely, especially in comparison to his best friend Turk. One highlight of the season is a visit from J.D.'s brother (Tom Cavanaugh). The pair actually look a lot alike.
Turk, in season one, met nurse Carla Espinosa (Judy Reyes) and in season two, the pair become engaged. It is revealed in commentaries by the show's creator, that Turk and Carla are a couple they plan on keeping together for the length of the show and they have to work out many problems to get to that point. In season two, Turk's engagement ring gets swallowed by a young patient, Carla's mother dies, Turk's brother (guest star D.L. Hughley) creates havoc on their relationship and they have the typical arguments that come with being newly engaged.
Elliot has problems of her own, ranging from battling her feelings for JD to exploring other relationships, mainly with nurse Paul (guest star Rick Schroder). She finds herself cut off from her father's money, forced to live in a truck for a while and then crashes on Turk and JD's couch. She is a nervous wreck for the most part, but at the same time she is a competent doctor, who just needs to get her personal life in check.
As Dr. Cox, McGinley is superb. His long rants and diatribes are hilarious to listen to and the way he chooses a different girls' name to call JD every time he speaks, is pretty funny as well. In this season, he reunites with his ex-wife Jordan (Christa Miller), who is pregnant and eventually delivers, his baby. A highlight of the season was the episode where Cox narrates, taking over from JD's usual role. It is insightful to hear from someone else every now and then. He also has a relationship with a pharmaceutical rep, played to perfection by Heather Locklear.
Ken Jenkins adds a bit of meanness as Chief of Staff Bob Kelso. He constantly berates Dr. Cox and is always looking for a resident or intern to pick on, often settling on Elliot or JD. His pompous attitude creates a lot of friction between himself and other members of the staff, but that leads to a lot of great comedic moments.
Neil Flynn is added to the regular cast as the nameless janitor. According to commentaries with the show's creator, Flynn ad libs most of his lines. His incessant picking on JD is quite funny and really, I find the janitor to be the funniest character on the show. I love it when he pretends to be a doctor, or just finds inane ways to pick on JD.
As far as extras go, this set is great. There are a number of commentary tracks with creator Bill Lawrence and various cast members. There are a number of featurrettes, one dealing with guest stars, another with music. There are deleted scenes and outtakes and a one-on-one interview with John C. McGinley, which is quite interesting. I found the commentaries to be quite informative and a very welcome addition to the set.
All in all, a great set of a show that has yet to be truly appreciated by the networks and even by some television fans. This is quality comedic television.
